Description:
------------
When trying to use advanced search on bugs.php.net the following error appears:

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at bugs-test.php.net Port 443

The problem is with select boxes, when many options are selected, form generates a long list of query parameters.

Why not to use a POST request?

Because it makes it annoying to copy&paste the url.

Why would you be selecting the entire select box options anyway?

[2012-05-14 16:32 UTC] zyss at mail dot zp dot ua

You don't have to copy&paste, just click it...

If you give the ability to select any number of options on your site then you're *responsible* for it to work properly. This is clearly a bug because it produces server error.

And again: why not to use POST request?

[2012-05-14 21:58 UTC] bjori@php.net

Do it yourself if it bothers you: https://github.com/php/web-bugs

Keep in mind we would like to copy&paste the url to link to search results, and 
quickly modify search criteria while navigating the results.

You can just leave the package name out and it will show you all of them:
